Show and Tell Friday

My Show and Tell for today is my strip quilt. I made this quilt one year, I believe 1996 when we got snowed in. I couldn't leave the house for 5 days, so decided to get out this fabric and make something. If you've ever heard of a strip quilt, it is SO easy. You just cut your fabric in 4 1/2 inch strips, sew them together side by side, turn the quilt, cut the strips in 4 1/2 " strips, and move them down one block, sew together again, trim the end, sew it on the other end, and it's finished = well except the quilting! I used fabrics that I had made my kids clothes from when they were babies, so it's a very memorable quilt too.

I placed my quilt on a quilt hanger with a shelf, that holds some of my Wizard of OZ Collectibles. Thanks for stopping by and looking around. I'm participating in Show and Tell Friday this week, and the address to see more is below. Thanks also for leaving your comments, I love it!

About Me

I'm a small town girl, who grew to be a small town woman, and now is a small town "Meme" joined with my small town "Papa". We pretty much live our lives around our kids and grandkids, even though they live 6 hours away. We are in touch with them daily through the computer and would give everything in the world to be able to spend more time with them.

More About Me

I have collected milk glass in all forms, shapes and sizes since I was 12 years old when I got my first set of bedside lamps from Stanhome Products. I had to sell a case of "Degreaser" in order to earn them, and I wanted them SO BAD. I have had people make fun of me for years! I have over 100 pieces and use them every chance I get to decorate, serve, or just look at. Until I came upon Susan's blog at http://betweennapsontheporch.com/ I had never found anyone else who had the same connection with beautiful dishes or anything even close to my interests. I'm no longer the odd ball, I have found people I can relate to and am enjoying the blog world immensely! Thanks so much to all who might be out there who have inspired me to come out of the "closet"! Ha! Sandi
